Summary
- I am board-certified fellowship trained urologist specializing in men’s sexual health and male infertility with experience in erectile dysfunction, penile implants, Peyronie’s disease and complex penile reconstruction.
I completed his residency training in urology at the University of California,
San Diego and fellowship training in andrology and men’s sexual health at the University of Washington, Seattle. Prior to my training in the United States, I completed general surgery and urology training at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland. During my training, I earned Master in Surgery (MCh) and Master of Science (MSc) from the University of Dublin, Trinity College.
I work closely with the UChicago Medicine Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility team to provide care for patients suffering with male factor infertility. I offer advanced sperm retrieval procedures including testicular Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) mapping, Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Retrieval (microTESE), Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) and microsurgical vasectomy reversal. I also support cancer survivors at the Comprehensive Cancer Center to improving quality of erectile, urinary and reproductive health.
In addition to my clinical work, I am involved in clinical and transitional research
to better understand patient reported outcomes in prosthetics and reproductive urology and studying novel ways to discover biomarkers and therapeutics in the field of sexual medicine. My research has been published in over 125 peer-reviewed publications and eight book chapters including the recently released Textbooks of Epidemiology of Male Infertility in Scientific American 2018 and Manual of Sperm Retrieval and Preparation in Human Assisted Reproduction 2021. I am currently an Associate Editor of Sexual Medicine and Sexual Medicine Reviews, official journals of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA).
